I had a spare bit of partition so I stuck Dreamlinux on there. I must say, although it's superficial, it makes a good impression to have an attractive desktop right from the start.

I also like their "easy install" toolkit, with one-click install of popular apps and drivers.

Hardware detection was not as good as Ubuntu, I had to dpkg-reconfigure xorg and also it doesn't do wireless, whereas these work out of the box in Ubuntu.

Very impressed with it though, I wanted to use Xfce and Dreamlinux is a nice distro for beginners.

DreamLinux always has had a very nice desktop appearance wise in my opinion. If only they could improve hardware recognition. When I think DreamLinux I always think the of how gorgeous the desktop you're presented with upon booting it up. =]

I agree. I am running dreamlinux right now and absolutely love it! It is very clean looking, very well thought out. The install was a bit of a bear, but once you are up and running it is right up there with ubuntu in my favorite distros list. After some easy tweaking by going through the menus and such, the bottom bar is now 3d and much better looking in my opinion. I have a belkin wireless g usb and it worked just fine in dreamlinux 3.5 4
